Victim Information

Victim Follow-Up Instructions

In reference to a reported incident you have filed with the Moline Police Department, the following is the process that will determine if further follow-up investigation will take place:

Your report will be forwarded to the Investigation Division where it will be evaluated. It is not possible for the Investigation Division to investigate or follow up on every complaint. Based on certain criteria, the Investigation Division will determine whether or not your complaint will be assigned for additional investigation.

Should your complaint meet the criteria, it will be assigned to an investigator who will contact you concerning your report.

If your complaint does not meet the established criteria, your report will be kept on file for information purposes. Your report will continue to be reviewed and if further information is developed, you will be contacted.

Illinois Crime Victim Compensation Act

The Crime Victim Compensation Act was established by the Illinois General Assembly in 1973 with the primary goal of helping to reduce the financial burden imposed on victims of violent crime and their families. The Illinois Crime Victim Compensation Program can provide innocent victims and their families with up to $27,000 in financial assistance for expenses accrued as a result of a violent crime.
